MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – A brazen hit-and-run occurred during a routine traffic stop on Miami Beach.<\/p>\n
The incident started as a noise citation on Ninth Street, east of Collins Avenue, just after 10 p.m. on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Miami Beach Police said one of their officers was conducting a routine patrol when he approached Anthony Banks, a 26-year-old from Georgia, for loud music coming from his Corvette.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest report, Banks was advised about \u201cthe City of Miami Beach Loud Music Ordinance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer then asked Banks for his driver\u2019s license, and despite being told not to move, Banks stated that he was going to just back up his Corvette.<\/p>\n
Instead, Banks took off in his Corvette and hit an officer\u2019s patrol car before he bolted. <\/p>\n
Video obtained by 7News shows the officer shouting at Banks as he attempted to stop the motorist.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop, stop the [expletive] car,\u201d said an officer as he pulled out his weapon. <\/p>\n
A witness described the scene. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt took the corner and took off,\u201d said the witness.<\/p>\n
Several officers arrived at the scene to collect surveillance footage from nearby establishments, including from Mitch Novick, owner of the Sherbrooke Hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI found the footage and shared it with them,\u201d said Novick. \u201cThe Corvette smashed into the marked unit.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the license plate readers along the MacArthur Causeway, the Corvette was seen leaving the city.<\/p>\n
A bulletin was sent to other agencies, and hours later, City of Miami Police said they found and arrested Banks at the 24\/7 Car Wash at Northeast Second Avenue and 29th Street.<\/p>\n
Authorities stated that Banks attempted to wash evidence from the Corvette at the 24\/7 Car Wash. <\/p>\n
Banks remains in jail and is expected to appear in court sometime on Thursday.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Miami Beach Police did not immediately respond to 7News\u2019 request for comment.<\/p>\n
